title: [Interventional options in modern treatment of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy].
abstract: Obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a complex pathology. The understanding of its physiopathology and, notably, of the SAM phenomenon (Systolic Anterior Motion), is crucial for all available treatments. Amongst the most efficient therapies, one can cite the septal myectomy and its most recent technical updates, as well as the alcohol septal ablation. The choice between these two methods depends on the general state of the patient, the thickness of the interventricular septum and the coronary anatomy of the patients.
